Woman reveals unorthodox way she runs her business from a baby’s crib

A mother of four has revealed how she multitasks by caring for her brood and running her online business.

Hannah Polites, one of the Gold Coast’s first truly Insta-famous girls of the mid-2010s, shared a black and white photo taken with her hi-tech baby monitor on her Instagram Stories.

In the photo you see Hannah curled up around her youngest child in the crib.

Her one-year-old daughter Alaska appears to be wearing a matching romper and sleeping with her hand in her mother’s chest.

Meanwhile, the 33-year-old works on her phone from the fetal position, her head touching one end of the toddler bed and her toes pressing against the other.

“How I answer your @babyccino questions,” she captioned it with a laughing emoji and a pink love heart.

“The juggling is real.”

As well as Alaska, Hannah is also raising Evalia, seven, Arlo, five, and Oakleigh, three.

The fitness influencer once traveled the world and lived a life of ‘grammable luxury thanks to lucrative brand deals and sponsored posts.

Today, Hannah continues to make a comfortable living from her sizable online following of one million and baby clothing store Babyccinobear.

The website sells ‘traditional’ baby and children’s clothing, souvenirs and themed family pajamas.

She lives with her husband Garth Small and four young children in a sprawling mansion in her native Queensland.

Hannah became Insta-famous at the age of 26 after posting some photos of herself on the social media app, thinking it was just a photo editing tool.

While working for Lorna Jane at the time, her photos became ‘fitspirational’ to some and were reposted online, prompting her to blog and share her life and fitness tips.

The mummy influencer and midwife once had more than 1.5 million Instagram followers.

Hannah was internationally known for her blonde hair, tanned skin and bikini body and was featured several times in Women’s Health and Cosmopolitan magazines.

However, she lost hundreds of thousands of her (mostly male) followers shortly after the birth of her first child, Evalia, in 2016.

Forced to make a hard pivot with her online branding, she also attracted countless headlines with her breastfeeding photos in bikinis and reports on how she “transformed” her body post-pregnancy.

Her impeccably curated Instagram feed exhibits all the hallmarks of a Millennial social media star: professional photography, swimsuit selfies, and happy family snaps.

John and Lee-Ann Polites, the parents of Hannah and her bodybuilder brother Aaron Polites, put their Gold Coast mansion up for sale last April.

They had lived in the Sovereign Islands waterfront estate for more than 13 years and hosted several lavish events in the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home.

According to the Gold Coast Bulletinthe property was listed with a price tag of $5.95 million.

The remarkable home, which was purchased by John and Lee-Ann in 2010 for $1.44 million, sits on a 1,000 sqm lot.

After renovating the space in 2019, the home features great entertainment areas, including an ‘Italian room’ with a teppanyaki kitchen, a waterfront champagne bar and a cinema room complete with eight leather armchairs.
